How To Effectively Protect Electronic Systems In A Mobile Base-Station From Damage Caused By Lightning And Surges (Transient Overvoltages)

Surges are large, very brief and potentially destructive due to sudden increase in voltage. They are the secondary effects of Lightning strikes from a kilo-metre or more, away.

Structural Lightning Protection alone will NOT prevent Surges damage.

Effective Protection for the Sensitive Electronic Equipment contained in a cell site can be achieved by fitting Surge (transient overvoltage) Protectors on all electrically conductive lines entering or leaving the base-station.

Mains Power supplies

Protect the incoming mains power supply with a range of protectors to suit most applications.

  • It has very low let-through voltage between all sets of conductors
  • Suitable for 120V, 208V and 415V supplies
  • Repeated protection in lightning intense environments
  • Low current in-line and high current parallel-wired
  • Maintenance free and easy to install
  • Long lifetime (most product 20 year predicted)

Data and Telephone lines

Protect single and multiple twisted pair, three-wire & telephone lines with a wide range of protectors

  • Low ‘Let-through’ voltage between all lines
  • Suitable for 6V, 15V, 30V and 50V data lines
  • Telephone protectors suitable for jack plug, RJ11 and RJ45 connections
  • Low in-line resistance to minimize reduction in signal strength

Coaxial RF systems

Use on coaxial systems to protect RF transmitter and receiver systems, including electronics location at the antenna or dish

  • Suitable for RF systems using coaxial cables at frequencies between 50MHz and 2.7GHz
  • Superior transient protection to both Gas Discharge Tube and Quarter Wave Stub based protectors
  • Low attenuation and near unity Voltage Standing

Wave Ratio (VSWR) over a wide range of frequencies ensure the protectors do not impair system performance.
